engadget.com— Forget everything you know about Windows Mobile. Seriously, throw the whole OS concept in a garbage bin or incinerator or something.

Game system menus go like this: You have a Pentium PC at 166 MHz with Windows 95.PS3 is like running AOL. It has features vomitted all over the place, and while there's some organization, it is still difficult to get where you want to be.Wii is like viewing HTML in notepad.Xbox 360 is like running a bloated, slow build of Netscape.
temsi- I could care less about coming across to you as a f**king douche (let's be a little more creative here) and you getting agitated.If the device does something that every other device does, point out the reasons it does it better. There are several reasons I do like my iphone as its insanely easy to connect remotely and use vnc for quick fixes, reboots and things along those lines. The interface and button based approach makes it far superior to doing similar functions on a windows mobile device than I agree 100%.Seeing that you said, my phone do good yeah with no real reasoning to back it up makes it sound like a shameless fanboy plug. All in all, don't get offeneded as there was no intention of being a d**kh**d, douche or @sshole. Glitch- I do agree it's useful as well especially when working critical off-site, it's a great tool and far superior to win mo in that regard.
Windows 7 will be back next year. Microsoft is just pulling another Longhorn stunt. They will throw this one down late in 2010, simply because nobody is buying Windows Mobile anymoreThey are trying to get people to buy this Zune+phone as a knee jerk reaction to keep the company's foot in the door, statistics-wise. Then next year sometime, they will roll out the next version of Windows like nothing had ever happened.And then all the people who bought the Windows 7 Phone will be stuck with a dead end product with no lively app ecosystem, similar problems to Windows what with IE and whatnot, etc.

MS said at the press conference no shells. Companies will be able to add to tiles but that's it. MS wants a standardized UI across the board.

The Pippin? Don't talk to me about the Pippin. Actually, it was made by Bandai
